Five

In the Necedah Wildlife Refuge, a flock of pelicans flew overhead. I was firing away with my camera in burst mode, and found I had taken this rather benign shot of five.

A couple of frames further into the shoot, I found this far more interesting image.

These birds were still quite high; they were not coming in for a landing. I was surprised they didn't crash, but they continued on their journey without mishap.

Practicing panning with flying geese. This is not cropped to exclude any geese; this shot caught five! I did crop to remove excess sky to the right. I was waiting for the sunset and I liked the light on their bellies.
